Not realy. Most developers would prefer one model that does everything best. That is the easiest, set it and forget it, no manual descision required.

What is unclear from the presentation is wether they do this or not. Do teams that use Sonnet 4.5 just always use it, and teams on Sonnet 4.0 likewise? Or do individuals decided which model to use on a per task basis.

Personally I tend to default to just 1, and only go to an alternative if it gets stuck or doesn't get me what I want.

Honestly I barely care which model I am using and switch between them all. Usually in a 'this is terrble' to 'this is amazing' and back cycle.

What I definitely do care about is speed and efficiency. I recently canceled CoPilot to go back to Cursor, it's just so much faster for the inline code completion.

When I do have something difficult, I open four browser tabs and copy paste a big long promp into the free versions of the top models so I can take my time reasoning out their answers.

I use agents when I have a basic task that I can easily judge their output in code review.
